Those cardboard dioramas are horrible if you live in a humid climate because it's nearly impossible to keep the cardboard from warping and curling. Which of course makes it impossible to get figures to stand inside the diorama.

you're right about the warping and curling....i put the heavier figures down on the warped areas and that seems to work....just amazing how NEW figures brings this piece of crap back to life....

I picked up the new Jabba this morning and dug through about 15 boxes in the attic to find a rolled up, warped, piece of flimsy cardboard.....had to tape alot of the edges together to make it work, but by the time i added like 30 figures to it....it finally looked decent....

I still use both the cardboard Jabba's Palace and Cantina dios - they're far from perfect, but look so much better than just having them all lined up on the shelf (like most of my other figures).

Don't know when I'll get the new Jabba (cheapest pre-order I've seen in UK so far is £50 ) but I do want it.... the diorama already has a built-in cardboard dais - does the new dais sit on top of this ok?

Big thanks to DarkJedi5, TheRealDubya, obi-dad, morpheus282, Tycho and Kidhuman for great deals/trades.

funny you mention this because when i put the new dais on the diorama, it's a perfect fit...the dimensions are exactly the same....you don't even need to use the built-in dais...it butts up nicely to the small staircase....

Great, that sounds excellent, thanks. Is the cardboard dais a separate piece then, that can be taken out? I was thinking it was part of the whole pop-up construction, but kind of remember now that it might be a sort box that just sits there?

the cardboard dais is removable...it has a couple of tabs....the NEW dais by itself is flush against the top of the cardboard staircase.....
